How does everyone.....?
How does everyone on here install a rear main seal?
I don't have socket nearly large enough for the rear main seal, so I was wondering what other people on here use to install it?

PCV pipe from home depot and a piece of 2x4 ???
Saw it somewhere but I never try it personally. Did yours leak bad? Not the seperator plate?

Also, I'm not 100% sure what is leaking, so I'm pulling the motor and replacing all the seals that I can.

Re: How does everyone.....?
I just put a little assembly lube on mine and pushed it in by hand. The little bugger went in so easy it actually went in too far. I keep waiting for it to start leaking.

Re: How does everyone.....?
If you push it in to far it can stop on the narrower part of the crankshaft, and leak like crazy!
